Very basically, Protestantism (coming from the Latin word protestari to protest) refers to religions formed after the Reformation during sixteenth century Europe. These groups rejected the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, beginning with Henry VIII, and his daughter Elizabeth, I in the sixteenth century. The Roman Catholic Church had also fallen into gross corruption. Protestants believe that The Bible is their only source of authority and inspiration, unlike the Roman Catholic Church, The Eastern Rite Religions and other Orthodox religions who believe that their tradition of belief is equal to the Bible. They also reject the notion of "Apostolic Succession" which is the belief of the Roman Catholic Church eg. the pope is the direct descendent of Saint Peter who is believed by them, to have been by appointed by Jesus. The sacramental nature of the clergy is also rejected by Protestants. This means that any person who enters the ranks of the clergy does so by the laying on of hands by the higher clergy who are believed to be descended from Jesus' apostles.
Other religious groups to form following the Reformation are Lutheranism, Methodism, the Baptist church, Presbyterianism and Calvinism.
A Presbyterian, James H. Nicols, lists Protestantism's basic teachings as follows:
1) The sole Headship of Christ-to the exclusion of the Pope as Vicar of Christ;
2) Free salvation through the redemptive work of Christ;
3) The Church as an evangelical fellowship;
4) The Bible only as the revelation of God in its great central affirmations;
5) Conscience as ethical guide in striving for evangelical perfection.

Honestly, The schisms are evidence of man kinds inn-ability to get along about trivial things. Rather than focusing on the areas they agree with, they choose to state that the other is going to hell. Protestantism denies the History of the Church itself by inventing a history of rejecting "Tradition" for the literal traditions of their leader's.( The traditions of men). Protestantism also denies much ancient doctrine and cites comments that are either outright lies or fabrications of the truth to get out of following it. (ie. The Apocrypha).Lack of education in these young churches spirals them into poor decision making.
